Buyer Beware....We went to carphone warehouse in Bath yesterday and were sold credits for our 2 vodaphone sims, that were unusable and unrefundable. We asked the saleswoman to first check if our SIM cards were still working, she did and said "Yes they are", when actually they were not. When we asked for a refund they said "go get it from vodaphone". When we went to vodaphone, they would not refund us because we bought it from carphone warehouse, and told us they had "Carphone warehouse has a bad reputation in town", and they were not surprised they sold us a bill of goods. We wasted 2 and half hours in the carphone warehouse store and got no refund, and no phones working. They then threw us another curveball and said "go to vodaphone they will give you free SIM cards" which of course was not true.
The salespeople and manager (all got involved) obviously had no clue what they were doing, and all they cared about is doing a quick sale and turning their backs. They don't give refunds for what we had just purchased, and want out and will told us "go to vodaphone", it's not our business anymore. This would never happen anywhere else. We would never set foot in this store ever again, especially being told of its reputation in town for doing transactions like these. Advice is, only go to the specific carrier (as vodaphone, or O2, T mobile, etc). Bad service, bad customer relation, and no recourse for problem solving. read more
